The key to Holly’s approach is her, “no stress, decrease anxiety, making mealtimes fun” style. Her belief is that children need to feel safe and secure, and in order to earn their trust, families need to be at mealtimes together. The right feeding support and fit to your family’s values is imperative to your child’s feeding success. Let her individualize a plan specific to your child’s needs.

Holly’s goals for each child are to:

• Promote and build a positive and interactive foundation for mealtimes and relationships with foods
